Lol dam, I wouldnt go as far as to say that STI's are slow, rice, or look bad at all... STI's are a classy import... and not only that, but they sound so fking awesome with full catless exhaust. Its no LS1, but it really does sound good and deserves that credit. My friend's STI ran a 13.0, forgot the trap speed, but i can post that tomorrow. He ran the 13.0 with just a header, CAI, and a downpipe with the rest of the catback stock. Thats pretty dam good if u ask me. Ofcourse, same mods on an LS1 and the LS1 is into the 12's (which hopefully ill accomplish on saturday), but still, u gotta give some credit to that 4 banger, its no civic at least

 

Well I would..they put down 230WHP, and look like a car out of the Fast and Furious. Huge wing and all. They are not "classy" at all, they are the definition of "boy racer". A "classy" import would be somthing like an Infiniti G35, the STI is the opposite of "classy".

Personally I think they sound like ****, and with an exhaust they only sound worse. What do you expect, its a 4 cylinder, they don't sound good period.

I'm not impressed with your friends 13.0; the only reason he ran a 13.0 is because the car is AWD. They can run as low as 13.2 bone stock, because the AWD allows you to come off the line ridiculously fast. However, they only trap at about 100MPH, since they don't have enough power to back up that 13.0 ET. Even though your friend may have ran a 13.0, his trap speed was probaly only slightly over 100MPH, which is not anything special at all.

 

To each his own i guess... I do agree that the g35 is an extremly classy import.

Although i have no idea how u dont think STI's sound good... Besides STI's and g35/350s i think every other import sounds like garbage

 

BirdmanLS1, your a cool guy ! You give respect where it is deserved and your opinion without calling names and acting like a dick. Some people can say whatever the hell they want behind a computer screen cause they don't know what the other person is like in person.

DSS, stay up ! Not everyone feels the same way as we do about our car.

Japanese(and I use this word to not sound racist) vehicles are not crap ! IMO they seem to be doing good in this country for the most part(Mitsu not so great!) especially in the "reliability" department. Don't get me wrong I love some American cars(Camaro's, Trans Am, Corvettes,etc).

Man, its a car ! Japanese or American, you buy it for whatever purpose, no need to get all riled up cause you think you got the best car in the whole world in a straight line and nothing with 4 cyl. can beat it because v8 are so much better in all ways possible in a straight line. So... Freakin... What !!!

 

i got respect v8 drivers as well as other cars
im not here to talk **** just lil pissed off but i have alot friends
that ownes ls1. thats y im here in the forums

oh yea
one last thing transanimal
watch this vid

I know EXACTLY what they were built for (and RESPECT it)! I probably know more about rallying than all of the "importees" on here (or other forums) who DO buy them (AWD turbo cars) for the sole purpose of wasting/embarrassing domestic V-8s on the street & strip, and will NEVER even go to a rally, let alone work one (or MANY, as I have), or prep and enter their wonder in one "as it was meant to be"!!!!
It just pisses me off that EVERYONE (f body owners included) thinks that our cars CANNOT EVER be made to handle extremely well, regardless of mods/tires. Yes, stock for stock the "rally twins" will butcher us in their "twisties", not so with handling mods and equal tires.

 

That go's the same for imports and the 1320 too ! Big valley STI is running 9's the last time I checked. Did it cost a lot probably !

 

What was the point of that vid?? It sucked, and it wasn't even in English.

Totally pointless...

 

Ya, too bad LS1's are into the 7's tho

 

True ! True ! Having a Bud, Watching the Game !

 

badass

 

You put enough money into a Subi, it will be a fast one.

 

now lets not get into whos dragster is the fastest because given enough money, anything can be fast.

 

Give it up already all of you

 

ok, cool.

 

after only investing 100K in the car and having it break everytime it goes down the track...

Real impressive, now stop talking

 

Christ does every thread have to devolve into which platform has the car deepest into the single digits?

 

and btw Evo RS> STI

 

good kill..........is it just me or are LT-1's making a little comeback?......ive seen alot of fast ones latly

 

FYI DSMs are still faster than scoobys


So catch up to us befor you talk **** then you can go ahead onto LS1s
